Hand to Fin Combat

**Wannabe...** · 04-20-2009, 08:37 AM

I set up a trap deep in the jungle for these dudes. Wasn't long before I had Craps in the wire and had to go hand to fin on em. After and hour or so, I had to get back to the CCB for resupply then I was back after 'em. Luckily, the FOB wasn't too far and I could call in artillery when needed.

Think there's 7 in the pic, but ended with 13 and about 20 shorts or so. Sounds great, but the battle raged on all day for those.

It's beginning to look like my re-election campaign is never gonna get off the ground.

nice catch Wannabe, did you catch those on a fly rod? I would like to fly fish for crappie but I have never tried it before. I was hoping to make it up to the White/Norfolk Rivers this June to try for some trout. You ever been up there?

And that my friend is why I am and will likely remain President!

Fine looking fish, fine.

Remember Max, you're not just a member, you're the president. LOL. Keep at it dude, you've got a toe hold now get in there and stand on it.

jdrobin, nah, that's hi-vis braid on the jig poles. I'm good, but not THAT good. LOL.

Nice fish- And look at that color on the whites. I think white crappie may be the purtiest freshwater game fish (not counting salmonid species) in North America. Longear and bluegills get nice colors too, but I think the overall form of crappie makes them interesting looking. Oh, yeah- what's up with a photo of "maybe" 7 and then claiming you caught a boat load? Can't claim you didn't have a camera for evidence... It would be cool if you got a video camera for your boat kinda like the cops have on their cruisers. Imagine the entertainment value! It could be the C.Ccam You'd get to mount another electronic gadget, we'd get to laugh even more than we do now, and your fairly earned reputation as a fishing guru would be set in stone!

TROUT,
PLEASE DONT GIVE ANTHING ELSE TO MOUNT ON THAT BOAT. HE HAS ENOUGH ELECTRONICS ON THERE NOW TO LAUNCH ANYTHING CANAVERAL HAS NOW. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE AT THE PICTURE, A BOAT LOAD MAY BE RIGHT CAUSE THAT IS A DUCK LAYOUT BOAT HE'S FISHIN OUT OF. LOL

nice looking fish there WB

Torch told me that Wannabe had soooooo much electronics on his boat that when he comes to a complete stop, because of all the electricity running thru it, the fish just float to the top. Swear!!! Says that's why he glows in he dark too. I didn't necessarily believe him, but it could happen - couldn't it????
